“I Am” lyrics (Raquel)
Well, it’s about that time again; the time when I don’t want to bother composing an interesting blog post about my life, but have found a song which fits well with my life right now (i.e. is smacking me upside the head about something), and therefore post the lyrics for everyone to mark as read on their rss feed reader. 
My favorite line right now is: “You don’t have to change the world, just trust in Me.” Being rather inclined to want to go change the world, I get frustrated with my life way too easily. I get frustrated that I’m not doing anything big, and then I get frustrated that I couldn’t anyway, because I’m not doing so well at the small things. I think, I’m supposed to do better than this, because I’m supposed to go change the world, right? Um. No.
So, that’s the short version of the post I wasn’t planning to write… And here are the lyrics:
No Lord, he said, you’ve got the wrong guy.
Simple conversation gets me tongue-tied.
And you’re telling me to speak with a maniac king.
Could it be I’ve lost my mind?
And besides, I am weak, don’t you want someone strong,
To lead them out of Egypt when they’ve been there so long?
And anyway, they wont believe You ever spoke to me.
That’s not your problem, God replied.
And the rest is history.
There’s a bigger picture you can’t see.
You don’t have to change the world, just trust in me.
‘Cause I am your creator, I am working out my plan,
And through you I will show them, I Am.
Now Lord, are you sure? He’s just a shepherd boy,
Too small for battle gear with a giant to destroy.
What on earth can he do with five stones and a sling?
That’s not your problem, God replied.
‘Cause I can do anything.
There’s a bigger picture you can’t see.
You don’t have to change the world, just trust in me.
‘Cause I am your creator, I am working out my plan,
And through you, I will show them,
I Am the first, I Am the last,
I Am the present and the past,
I Am tomorrow and today,
I Am the only way.
Great Lord, she said, I’m just a simple girl.
You say that I will bring your son into the world.
How can I understand this thing You’re gonna do?
That’s not your problem, God replied.
‘Cause, there’s a bigger picture,
And you don’t have to change the world.
I’m your creator, I am working out my plan.
And through you, I will show them,
There’s a bigger picture, you can’t see.
You don’t have to change the world, just trust in me.
I’m your creator, I am working out my plan,
And through you, I will show them, I Am.
–I Am, Ginny Owens
I hadn’t heard this song before. I didn’t mark it as “read” on my rss feed reader; I marked it as “keep new.” Thank you. I need this song rather frequently, and didn’t even know it until you posted it.

You’re very welcome. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
